Publish Date 01/12/2022
If you’re hoping to attend the Kansas City Chiefs’ wild-card playoff game vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday night, use some caution buying and selling tickets.
Scammers see these big events as a big opportunity to take advantage of your fandom.
If purchasing online –
Use reputable websites and know their polices
- Avoid using general item websites that do not specialize in ticket sales
If selling online –
Don’t post pictures of your tickets (barcodes) online; these barcodes can be stolen or forged
- Use reputable websites
If purchasing or selling via an electronic payment system:
- Know the refund policies if you are using electronic means of payment, such as Paypal or Venmo
Other Tips:
- If it sounds too good to be true, it is. Know the market value of the ticket before purchasing
- If it's a cash deal, inspect the money. It isn’t uncommon for someone to wrap counterfeit funds in a real bill
- The extra fees paid on reputable websites might be irritating, but you are paying for that extra security
